One Guard

Deron and Yiyang's near-perfect back line even made Carlisle feel better than Wade's starting lineup. At least Deron is on the court and the Mavericks can have one more three-point threat. The more three-point threat points, the larger the space, the more conducive to Yiyang's play.

This is an era where offensive space is extremely emphasized. The stubborn classic small-space play like Snyder's Jazz is bound to be extremely difficult to win even if it can win. As for the Mavericks, once the space is opened, it means that a devastating attack has begun.

After the first quarter of the game, the Eagles narrowly narrowed the point difference to 9 points. But at the beginning of the second quarter, Yiyang and Delong quickly opened up the difference.

The Hawks' mobility and quick defenses didn't work at all when faced with two high-skilled point guards.

You never know in which direction Yiyang and Delong's pass will go, and you never know where these two guys will come out in the next second to catch the ball and end the attack. Budenhorse has changed several defensive strategies, but it is still not as rich as the offensive richness of two point guards.

After halftime, the Mavericks have achieved a 15-point lead. On both ends of the offense and defense, the "Eastern Spurs" were clamped to death by the Mavericks.

The Hawks are most afraid of meeting teams with superstars, just like they met James in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Now that they met Yiyang and Delong, there was nothing to do.

In the third quarter, the Hawks' offense did not improve in the slightest. On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki also shot. The three offensive points of Yiyang, Deron and Dirk took turns to bombard indiscriminately, making the Hawks' defense become riddled with holes.

After the third quarter, the gap was widened to 20 points. Budenhorse slumped on the bench with his face in his hands. He knew that there was no hope for this game.

The Eagles who lack superstars do not have a very significant offensive strength, so chasing points is the most difficult thing for them. After only five minutes in the last quarter, Carlisle replaced all the main players with confidence. In the last seven minutes, it was impossible for the Hawks to turn the game over again.

When Delong and Yiyang walked off the court side by side, the ESPN director played the two's data at the bottom of the screen. Yiyang had 28 points, 11 assists and 3 steals. Deron also performed well today, scoring 20 points and 7 assists. By the way, Jeff Teague, who performed well this season, was very embarrassed.

Who said Yiyang is a single-core leader? In this team, anyone can stand up and become a giant!

"If he plays two games and fills the game, the stats will definitely be better. But it doesn't matter anymore, and Deron Williams, the two former opponents' defenders, have proved that they are combined together. power."

Yiyang and Deron walked off the field, and Carlisle took the initiative to step up and pat the two on the shoulder. The Dallas Mavericks will not be knocked down by injuries.

After Deron left the field, he wiped the sweat off his body and immediately put on the training clothes. The temperature of the air conditioner made him feel a little cool.

Sitting on the bench, Deron turned to look at the dull-eyed "stupid" old man behind the bench. Although his eyes are not as sharp as before, although the curse is not as loud as before, although he will no longer grab your jersey and whisper in his ear.

But in Deron's view, Sloan hasn't changed at all. His appearance can't hide his iron-blooded heart. Sloan is still the Sloan, and the **** will never become a kind old man.

"Old man, this trip to Dallas is not bad." Deron twisted his head and smiled at his old handsome.

"Hmph, you're playing like shit, I beat you better with one hand!" Sloan's cursing voice was very slow, but his momentum was unabated.

A few minutes later, the game, which was practically no suspense from the end of the first quarter, ended. 118 to 98, the defending champion wins the "Eastern Spurs" at home. Budenhorse wants to wrestle with the Mavericks, I'm afraid his lineup needs to be further upgraded.

After the game, ESPN's on-site reporters did not find Dirk, Yiyang, or Carlisle. In front of the TV, the fans saw Deron Williams, who had not been interviewed on the sidelines for a long time.

"Deron, we have all seen Jerry Sloan visiting the scene very unexpectedly today. Is his arrival today what motivates you to perform well in this game?" ESPN reporters are very chicken thieves, all over the world. Knowing that Deron and Sloan had broken up, they never spoke to each other. He asked this deliberately, just to make Deron admit their hostility in front of fans all over the world.

Deron looked at this cunning reporter jokingly. When he was young, he was easily influenced by the media, but now, he controls the media.

"Inspire me to play well in this game? No, no, no. Jerry Sloan will inspire me to continue to play well for the rest of my career!"

After Deron finished speaking, he turned and left with a smile, leaving only the ESPN reporter standing on the spot with a dazed expression.

Are these guys who came out of Jerry Sloan all weird?

Carlisle did not expect that a combination of two point guards that were out of place on the training ground would have played well on the court.

Although it was only a small change, Carlisle was extremely pleased with the results. The success of the double point guard combination means that the Mavericks have completely come out of the shadow of Wade's injury, and everything is back on track.

The game against the Eagles is the first time Yiyang has scored less than 30 points after Wade was injured. But this is not because Yiyang is in a bad state, but because he doesn't need to spend so much energy on scoring. Delong's outstanding performance has shared the pressure on Yiyang's shoulders.

After defeating the Atlanta Hawks, the Mavericks got a two-day break. But in these two days, Yiyang was not comfortable.

On December 11, the Mavericks did not have a game, but Yiyang sat in front of the TV as if he were facing a rival, watching the progress of a game closely.

The Golden State Warriors played against the Boston Celtics. This game had nothing to do with the Mavericks, but Yiyang watched the end intently from the first second.

This regular season is far more than just an ordinary regular season!

The Celtics' resistance was fierce, beyond everyone's expectations, but it was almost the same as Yiyang had imagined. Don't look at the Celtics under Stevens, but they are definitely one of the best teams in the league. Because Stevens himself is sometimes more valuable than a star!

In the first quarter of the game, Bradley scored 15 points in a single quarter, overwhelming Curry and Thompson, allowing the Celtics to end the first 12 minutes of the game by just one point.

In the second quarter, Thomas Jr. assisted Salinger several times and dunked under the basket. Drummond Green’s awkward expression became the most frequently seen close-up of the game in this quarter. The Celtics took a 3-point lead at halftime and entered the player channel.

In the second half of the game, the two sides played even harder. Everyone thought that the Warriors would easily retreat from the North Shore Garden, but Stevens's Celtics were stunned to drag Curry into overtime!

Yiyang could clap his hands and applaud, and sometimes screamed up to the sky, as if he was really on the scene.

Both sides were still anxious in overtime. Curry made a three-pointer in the last 34 seconds and it seemed that he finally killed the game.

As everyone knows, in the last 14 seconds of the game, Isaiah Thomas paid another three-pointer back! The whole North Shore Garden is boiling. Their hero, who is only 1.75 meters tall, can actually compete with Curry!

In this way, both sides entered the second overtime competition. In double overtime, who would have thought that the Celtics without superstars could beat the Warriors so embarrassed?

But in the second overtime, the advantage of the Warriors' lineup depth is still reflected. When the main players of the Celtics were exhausted and unable to play any more, Livingston's excellent performance allowed the Warriors to lay an advantage and gave Curry a break. After resting, Curry returned to the court to stabilize his advantage on the basis of Livingston.

In the end, the Celtics still had no way to change their destiny after two overtime battles. 124~www.novelmtl.com~ Stevens's team lost to the Warriors and their two consecutive victories came to an end.

At the end of the game, all the Warriors players rushed into the field, embraced each other frantically, and celebrated.

It stands to reason that an ordinary regular season victory is not guilty of making the players so happy. But in fact, this is really not an ordinary regular season. If this is just an ordinary regular season, Yiyang would not be so concerned.

"Let’s congratulate the Golden State Warriors! Through their hard fight, they incredible broke the 22-game winning streak set by the Mavericks last season! God, who would have thought that this incredible record would be broken by the Warriors just one season later. The 23-game winning streak started, and the Golden State Warriors set a new record for the best start in the North American Sports League! Moreover, this number may continue to rise!" Mike Brin’s shouting echoed in the living room of Yiyang’s home. , But Yiyang's mood is not at all excited.

Stevens did his best, and the players under his hands have also tried their best, but this still cannot defeat the Warriors. Yiyang couldn't help clenching his fists, how much he wished he could fight the Warriors on the court just now.

Yiyang doesn't care about those records, but he is not reconciled to watch the Warriors ravaging the entire league like this. The Mavericks have played 21 wins and 2 losses this season, and they are actually already very good. But because the Warriors started with a devastating 23-game winning streak, the Mavericks became eclipsed.

Yiyang pulled out the December schedule from his mobile phone. In the Christmas game this season, the Mavericks' opponent is not the Warriors, but the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James. Have to wait until December 30th, the Mavericks will meet the Warriors.

Yiyang turned off the TV and looked at Baiyan Lake, which was shimmering white by the moon outside the French windows. From now on, Yiyang has to live with his fingers.
